I just had another community member stop me in Panorama Hall to tell me how much they appreciated the wonderful classical music program that was presented this last Wednesday evening! Musicians, Paul Rosenthal, violinist and Doris Stevenson on piano, played a varied program highlighting Bach, Debussy, Beethoven, Janacek and Kreisler. The hour- long program included the artist’s insights into each work. These top-quality, internationally-known musicians created an evening of superb music for us. They brought the gift of live music to 190 community members in our new acoustically exquisite Panorama Auditorium. What a joy! The Piatigorsky Foundation, founded in 1990, presented this concert. We have been fortunate in being able to participate in this fine program since its inception.
